Jobs for IT Graduates

IT is certainly one of the best qualifications to have as a graduate; so if you’re studying an IT based degree you’re certainly more likely to find employment than other students or other applicants with other degrees. There aren’t many jobs these days that don’t require computer usage; so the more in depth knowledge you have the better your job prospects are. Of course, there are many different computer-related degrees out there; from web design, programming and software design.

Here at Sigma IS, we are specialists in IT recruitment in London, so to help you to see what type of jobs IT graduates can achieve, we compiled a list of some of the job titles along with descriptions that you’ll see when applying for jobs.

Technical Support/Helpdesk Support

The Job: Basically this job will require you to help to support workplace technology; this will often be specialist in-house programs or systems. This job can either be support for customers, clients or members of staff. This is often a good entry level position for graduates – however, sometimes these positions require certain skills and experience.

Software Engineer

The Job: This job will require a very specific set of skills as it usually includes the development and ongoing maintenance of data base systems, operating systems and programs. You will need a firm understanding of the relationship between the software in question and the hardware in which it operates on. You will be required to have a software engineering degree for this one.

Web Developer

The Job: This job will require you to have experience in the back end development of web design and a degree in the subject. This job is highly technical and will require you to have a sound, in-depth knowledge of HTML, CSS and more. This role is universally found in both small business organisations and global organisations.

Systems Analyst/Systems Engineer

The Job: Systems analysts are employed to investigate problems within the business; you will then be required to design information systems that will provide workable solutions. This role requires business know-how and technical knowledge. As the job title suggests you will need firm analytic skills; you will usually begin as a support to the senior systems analyst or even as a developer before entering this role.

Of course, there are many more jobs available than the ones listed here. When applying for jobs you must always consider exactly what they are asking for; do you have the skills? Do you have the experience? If you do think you have any holes in your CV, try to remedy this by enhancing your experience.
